This is the story of Pushpalatha, a junior public health nurse at the Department of Health in Kerala. What is that makes her story unique, one might wonder! The nurse’s dedication is now the talking point in in Kerala’s public domain.

Pushpalatha is witnessing her name travel to the headline space, thanks to her feat of vaccinating as many as 893 people in just seven-and-a-half hours. Pushpalatha’s contribution isn’t small considering the overwhelming number of people seeking vaccination at government-run public health centers and vaccination spots.

As Pushpalatha’s story began being spoken about across Kerala, the state’s Minister for Health Veena George came calling on her to congratulate her for the work she has done. Pushpalatha, who has been striving to bring to the people all health services her job would want her to do at the Government District Hospital in Chengannoor, was able to inoculate 893 people who queued up for the Covid-19 vaccine in just under 8 hours. No simple feat, this!

These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...
